CBSE results three hours late

Students went into a tizzy today as the CBSE Class X results were declared three hours late.

Teachers said it was not possible to distribute mark sheets today as the results were declared at 7 pm instead of the scheduled 4 pm.

Malini Bhagat, principal of Mahadevi Birla Girls High School, said that students will receive their marksheets tomorrow.

A student of Mahadevi Birla said that even after

7 pm, schools could not access the results as the server was down. "It is still uncertain when we will get our mark sheet," she added.
